Chapter 493: Night Attack (Part II)
In fact, Liang Yongneng hadn't figured out what had happened until now, but greater fear flashed in his eyes, so the morning breeze blew in the night sky.
The wind is not very strong, about three or four degrees, but the fatal thing is that it is not a northwest wind, but a rare southeast wind.
Spring is coming, Yao Lin laughed while killing the enemy.
What kind of wind is blowing, what kind of weather is it, and who can control this? But this southeast morning wind came really at the right time.
The southeast wind swept together, and the firelight quickly rose with the west gate.
"Withdraw, withdraw." Liang Yongneng roared desperately, and he himself turned his horse and ran back.
But the city gate was so big, the fire was chasing and burning behind, and I don't know how many Xia troops poured in, and they were blocked at the city gate together. Some Xia soldiers saw that the fire was getting closer and closer, and their eyes turned red, and they pulled out their swords and slashed at their companions, so the city gate was even more chaotic and more tightly blocked.
As for the city, many summer soldiers were caught in the fire. Most of the Tangut people were not iron armor, but leather armor. It is a leather jacket, in this season, one can withstand the cold, and the other can play some defensive role. But these fur jackets are not more likely to catch fire? As soon as it touched the fire, it burned.
Many of the summer soldiers burned to death and let out miserable screams.
The cries became louder and louder, and the gates of the city became more and more blocked.
"General, go to the city." His personal guard said.
Liang Yongneng immediately abandoned his favorite ride and climbed to the top of the city. Not only him, but also many Xia soldiers saw that they could not escape from the city gate, so they climbed to the top of the city. Fortunately, those siege ladders are still there, and they are climbing down from the siege ladders one by one. Liang Yongneng also climbed down, and there were many bewildered Xia troops gathered outside the city. Liang Yongneng has too many troops in his hands, so he starts from beginning to end. From the time when Wang Juzhangqi formulated the battle plan to Yao Lin on the front line, he had no idea of attacking all the troops under him. At this time, there were many Xia soldiers who poured into the fort. But there are more Xia soldiers outside the city.
But none of them understood why the fort burned down.
Liang Yongneng returned to the front of the army in horror. The order was given: "Send people to the city gate immediately, so that the three armies must not be crowded." ”
Only in this way can more people escape.
However, where did it work, and under the blowing of the southeast morning wind, the entire Anjiang Fort became a sea of fire, and many Xia soldiers also climbed to the top of the city, but because all of them were on fire, they did not care about looking for siege ladders. Jump straight from the city.
But Anjiang Fort is not a slush fort, the walls are tall, and the soil below is still frozen soil, extremely hard, some of them fell to death, some did not fall to death, but they also fell badly, screaming in pain on the ground.
"It's over, it's over, I don't know how many soldiers have been lost." One of Liang Yongneng's guards said.
Liang Yongneng was furious. Hearing what he said, he swung his sword in a rage and hacked the guard to death.
This is the table of incompetence.
He was right to anxiously attack the city. If the rescue is not timely, all three armies under Brother Ruding will be annihilated. But why not send some clever people into the city to have a look? How much time can this delay? In that case, seeing the piles of hay brought out of the houses, how could the three armies not be vigilant? Do you need to be angry with the guards?
However, if it weren't for Erliang presiding over the two Xia armies and replacing Renduo Lingding as the coach, then Wang Ju still has such a good appetite?
Of course, Liang Yongneng's main force is still there, and it is impossible to count how many soldiers have been folded.
He was still staring blankly at Anjiang Fort.
Just for a moment. There were fewer and fewer summer soldiers at the head of the city and at the gates, because the fire had burned here.
Anjiang Fort "taken". Burned like this, the Song army couldn't hold it even if he wanted to. But such a take. Liang Yongneng almost cried.
The fatal thing is that in his rage, he slashed his own guards to death with a sword, so that the other generals under him did not dare to speak. After a long while, Liang Yong could see that no one would escape from the fort alive, and only then did he think of one thing.
There was still a fight to the east of Anjiang Fort, and he said: "Immediately send two armies and insert them from the trail to the back of the Xinjiang Ballast Fort." ”
These are two very rugged and rugged trails, not only are the roads narrow, full of snow and ice, but also have a peak and are extremely steep. However, Liang Yongneng sent soldiers in advance to control the peak. What should I do, is it true that Brother Guiding's army is not saved? Besides, the actual strength of the Song army is not much, and the two Song armies together are probably less than 10,000 people. As long as the reinforcements pass, if Brother Ding can stabilize a part of his troops, he can turn defeat into victory.
Some Xia generals sighed in their hearts, that's right. But they are also depressed in their hearts, Major General Xixia? Why let these two beams be the main general? But that's not right either!
The two Xia armies burned the road from both sides, trying to continue the rescue.
Even if the loss is at this point, the forces on this side are still extremely large, although each has sent two troops, and the strength of each department is close to 10,000 people. It's just that they each got off their horses and climbed towards the two peaks.
When I saw the peak, I suddenly heard two loud noises. Countless rocks and dirt flew into the sky, then fell again, smashing on the heads of the climbing soldiers. In this bombing alone, nearly 1,000 soldiers were lost in the two divisions.
Then with the help of the dim moonlight afterglow, Liang Yongneng saw a magical scene, with this explosion, the two peaks almost disappeared, as for the two simple outposts, they had long since turned into ashes. Of course, these two paths are gone.
"It's so ruthless, it's so ruthless." Liang Yongneng was so angry that blood was about to spurt out, his eyes were full of stars, and he almost fainted to the ground.
Now there are only three choices, the first is to enter the city after the fire of Anjiang Fort is burned, the second is to remove the stones of the two peaks one by one, and the third is to bypass the farther path, but no matter which way, it will take several hours, and by the time his army appears to the east of the fort, the battle will be over long ago.
In fact, the battle is over.
Seeing the fire rising in the fort, Brother Ruding knew that the general trend was gone, and fled to the southwest with a team of soldiers and horses. In the southeast, Gao Min's Song army was blocked, and there was no way to escape. Behind is the burning Anjiang Fort, and there is no way to escape. To the west is the Song army's Xigu Fortress, and the road is difficult, and there is no way to escape. So Rouyuan Village in the southwest is the only place where you can escape.
"General, get up quickly." A personal guard woke Liang Yi up.
"What's the matter?"
"It's burning over there."
Liang Yibury got up and looked northwest, which was not easy to see, but the fire in Anjiang Fort burned too much, and it was close to the fifth watch, when the moonlight was gradually dimming. Therefore, separated by countless mountains, the firelight can also be seen on the side of Rouyuan Village. It's just the sound of fighting, and I definitely can't hear it.
This made Liang Yibury feel strange too. It's not the right rhythm.
War occasionally gets caught in fire, but it's certainly not right when it comes to this fire.
Moreover, it was the Xia army that attacked Anjiang Fort. Everyone didn't dare to set fire, what was burning, grain, grass, and supplies. That was not the most scarce thing in Western Xia.
Besides, is it necessary to attack now?
What's going on over there?
Liang Yibury said: "Immediately send scouts to bypass the trail to inspect." ”
"Whoa."
A group of scouts left the camp.
Not long after they left, the guards came to report again: "General, it's not good. Rouyuanzhai sent a team of cavalry out of the village and pounced in the direction of the ballast fort. ”
"I'll take a look." Liang Yi climbed the tower and looked at the west side of Rouyuan Village, the Song army was divided into a group of soldiers and horses, about a thousand people, but all of them were cavalry, and they were galloping in the direction of Anjiang Fort.
Now Liang Yibury can't tell what happened on the side of Anjiang Fort, but he has a premonition that something bad will happen. He was stunned and said, "Attack immediately." ”
The rallying horn sounded.
One by one, the Western Xia soldiers crawled out of their tents, sleepy-eyed, and they didn't know what had happened. But at the urging of the generals. Immediately put on it, raised the siege equipment, and prepared to attack Rouyuan Village.
Right now. Liang Yibury heard two loud muffled noises coming from afar, and from such a distance, Liang Yibury seemed to feel that the ground was shaking. Not good, Liang Yi shouted in his heart. It was not the first time he had dealt with gunpowder of the Song Dynasty. How much gunpowder would have to explode to produce such power?
"Attack, attack," Liang shouted sharply.
Brother Ruding began to run away.
Yao Lin stopped slashing at this time, the overall situation has been decided, and he doesn't need to fight hard. He sat on his horse and stood on a high vantage point, watching his surroundings. The enemy's Dongying side gradually ended the battle, and Yao Lin sent someone to shout. Gao Min also understood, and let his subordinates shout while killing the enemy. So many summer soldiers climbed out of the camp fence, holding their heads, lying under Anjiang Fort and not daring to move. There were also many enemy soldiers fleeing in all directions. However, there are still some fierce Xia who will continue to fight with a few people, but these people are very few.
At this time, he saw Brother Ruding fleeing to the southwest with a group of people.
Gao Min had all the infantry in his hands, but Yao Lin had a cavalry in his hands, and he said: "The infantry will follow Gao Du to kill the enemy, and the cavalry will follow me to chase the enemy." ”
Brother Ruding is the main general here, he broke through and fled, and fled with a large number of Xia troops.
However, Yao Lin soon caught up.
As he caught up, the Western Xia infantry who fell behind and the Xia soldiers who had time to get on their horses in the future immediately scattered in all directions. However, this time, because of the bad road conditions, there were very few cavalry such as Dingge, and ninety percent of them were foot soldiers.
Yao Lin opened a bloody path, regardless of the other deserters, and continued to chase down. That's when the two explosions came out.
In fact, it was all arranged in advance.
Although the two mountains are dangerous, they are also mainly stone, but there is also some loess, so a large amount of gunpowder was wrapped in advance and placed under the peak. Then it was covered with rocks and dirt, including the fuse. Tonight, when the moon had not risen and the sky was dark, a dozen soldiers were quietly lowered from the fort with ropes and lurked. It wasn't until the time of the fierce battle, taking advantage of the lack of attention from the summer soldiers at the peak outpost, that the dozen or so soldiers picked up the dirt, found the long fuse, and then lit the fuse when a large number of enemies were about to climb to the peak.
This is a battle beyond the times, even if Yan Agu fights here, he will suffer a big loss, not to mention Liang Yongneng.
Brother Ruding should be more powerful than Liang Yong, but at this time, he was still confused in his heart, and he hadn't even figured out where this ambush of the Song Dynasty came from.
But he also guessed that it was probably the Song army that disappeared, but didn't it mean that they had sneaked back to Dashun City? Why is it coming up again?
Why do you want to do so much, run for your life.
But where to run.
He fled quickly, and after a while, he faintly saw the Rouyuan Village in front of him, and his personal guard said: "General Ruding, this road is not passable, let's go around it from the path." ”
"Where's the path?" Brother Ruding asked eagerly.
"There's a ravine just ahead."
"Then hurry up and escape," Brother Ruding said, and even the word escape was involuntarily uttered, but he thought of his wolf at this time.
It was indeed very critical, just because he spoke and pulled the horse away, and after a while, he heard the sound of the hooves of the Song army behind him.
Brother Ruding slapped his horse and fled forward, seeing that the mountain road he said by his guards was not far away, and suddenly he heard the galloping sound of war horses in front of him.
"Where to go." The wild Rigu realm flashed out on horseback. Because of the last Dashun City, he became the commander of a Fan Luo cavalry in the Song Dynasty.
"Not good." Brother Ruding thought miserably.
This is simply no way to heaven and no way to enter the earth. Of course, there are not many troops in the hands of the Yeligu Realm, only nearly a thousand horsemen. However, Brother Ruding was even more miserable, and when he fled here, he had less than 300 horsemen under his command. And I don't know how many Song people will catch up later.
"Surrender without killing, immediately dismount and surrender." Ye Ligu shouted.
"Rush over." Brother Ruding shouted, let's fight for your life.
However, he shouted the order in front of him, and many of his men laid down their weapons, turned over and dismounted, and lay on the ground. (To be continued) R655
